How do you begin a suspense-thriller mystery? You can begin with a hook to pull the reader into the depth of the story. I began Book Pursued with a newspaper report related to how the crisis began in the lives of the two main characters, George and Jane Mercy.

Jane was reading the Sunday newspaper at breakfast. With a shocked expression on her face, she held the paper up in front of me. “Have you seen this?”

“No. What?”

“Page two. See, one of the librarians has disappeared from the Harrison Library. The picture they’re showing of the missing librarian, Miss Mildred Bates, looks just like the woman who checked our books out. The police are asking for leads.”

“Could she have been kidnapped by the man who was yelling and beating on the library door?”

This incident points to the beginning of a trilogy about the long journey of two professing atheists who are being pursued by evil and called by God. Will they escape? Will they find a hope to believe in?

Book Pursued may be purchased online from Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, or Itasca Books. It is also available as a Kindle edition on Amazon.
